Find an after school nanny in Benicia, CA

Hi! My name is Christine, I am the oldest out of 5 children, with a mother who is a labor and delivery nurse--so I've grown up being taught about how to deal with children from a young age and have plenty of personal experience working with kids through my younger siblings, extended family, and previously being my church's Sunday school teacher. I also have over 10 years of professional childcare experience and have worked in varying capacities as a nanny, family assistant, children’s art class assistant and sitter. I am trustline certified along with taking childcare courses, have a valid driver’s license and have received cpr & first aid training. I enjoy hobbies like reading, writing, and music and love sharing these things with kids. I have been active on Urbansitter since 2016 and have had the pleasure of working with 100s of families within this time. • Also I am not allergic to any pets and have no issues working with families with friendly furry friends ☺️ *I typically have a 5 hour minimum* **rates vary based on distance and number of children **

I love children and children love me. I’m very lucky and blessed, children are enchanted with me and we naturally delight in each others company. I am a highly trained caregiver in providing for your child’s mental, emotional and physical needs. I bring over 25 years of practical experience with children, from infancy through teenage-hood. I’ve had unique opportunities of working with children ranging in needs from being deemed extremely gifted to being a patient in a lock-down psychiatric ward. It’s important to me that children are given the opportunity to and learn to cultivate their ability to: thrive, be resilient, express themselves fully, develop high levels of self-efficacy & self-worth, love and be loved. I love to play! I’m crafty, artsy, musical, adventurous, active, happy and have great boundaries! Children naturally love me, this makes my job very easy. 😍 (I’ve also worked as a private chef, caterer, and personal assistant.) Some of my experiences with children include: -2 summers of teaching K-5 Science and Art for summer school, 4 yrs of substitute teaching, 2.5 years teaching pre-school for 3'-4's, 2yrs as aTiger Cub 'mom', 2 years I ran a Children's Crisis Shelter, 4 yrs I worked in a lock-down Psychiatric Children's Facility. I was a licensed Respite Care Provider and Foster Parent. I contracted with Child Protective Services for 5 years. I created a program working with Autistic boys (1 yr), for 4.5 years I was a Family Builder Specialist and Program Manager, for 2 yrs I was a Child Developmental and Behavioralist Specialist. I have been a temporary, part time, and full time nanny and sitter for over 20years. Over Covid lockdown I ran a private school and course for grades k&1. I volunteer with Big Brothers and Big Sisters, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts and Adventure Scouts, food kitchens, Women’s DV shelters... Using my expertise in emotions, I teach classes for parents (and also for children) on empowerment, emotional development and intelligence, transformation, and self efficacy/esteem. ** Please note that I have cancellation policy - if you cancel a booking with in a week of, I charge a $50 cancellation fee or 50% of the booking, whichever is higher.

Hello, I’m a passionate caregiver with experience with children and youth ages 0-14. I’ve worked in home and at several different preschools, elementary and middle schools. Some of my experience includes supporting children with medical appointments, camps, after school programs, and assisting with various therapeutic lessons. My responsibilities have included morning wake up and evening bedtime routines, activity planning, homework support, bathing, cooking, light cleaning, and transporting children to and from programs and appointments. I’ve also supported educational environments with special education assistance along with art and STEAM activity planning. I piloted an afterschool inclusion program and have implemented a wide array of behavioral intervention strategies. Some words previous children have used to describe me are loving, caring, thoughtful, respectful and uplifting.
